Racism in Canada is a very big problem. In Canada, anyone who does not have "white" skin is considered a minority. Many "white" people think that they are way better than people that are "Black" or "Asian" looking. In Canada and the USA there is a movement called The Black Panther Movement. The influence of the movement will get bigger as racial problems increase. Right now, more black people than ever are coming to Canada. We need to make these immigrants feel welcome in our country. Many employers that have power over their employees discriminate against people that are not white skinned. Some organizations have systematic discrimination against people. People all over Canada still think racist thoughts, say racist things and abuse people that do not have white skin. All of these things will never end but they can be reduced.

"If racism has a begning them we can argue that it can have a end."
(from the Toronto Board of Education)
"Did you know (in the 19th century) that it was a crime for Chinese restaurant owners to hire white women?"

It may be human nature but we have to try to stop it.
